rounds that the Mineral Wells

tended northwest, or north, or
south, and that work would be-
gin ‘ ‘right away. ” It now seems
that, as an absolute certainty, be-
fore the first day of January, 1907,
work will have actually commenc-
ed on the extension of the Min-
eral Wells route. Contractors
with their outfits are now on the
ground, ready to go to work iust

gone ahead far enough to keep
out of the way of the graders.

of an early commencement of

be, for it means a great deal for
his road, as well as for Weather-
ford, Mineral Wells and towns
along the proposed route. The
exact location of the finally ac-
cepted route northwest has not
been made public, but it is known
that it will go almost in a straight
northwest course after leaving
Mineral Wells. One great disad-
vantage is found in getting out
of Mineral Wells. The line will
likely start east from Mineral
Wells, gradually veering around
to the north, and finally, after
reaching a distance of fifteen
miles, will turn in its proper di-
rection—northwest. At this
point, we are told, the distance
from Mineral Wells will on an air
line be only four or five miles.

A. score of people came up the hill
from Pleasant valley that night. Tunk
went after the old maids and came
with them in the chaise at supper time.
There were two wagon loads of young
people, and before dusk men and their
wives came sauntering up the road-
way and in at the little gate.
Two or three of the older men wore
suits of black broadcloth, the stock and
rolling collar—relics of “old decency”
back in Vermont or Massachusetts or
Connecticut. Most were id rough
homespun over white shirts with no
tuffs or collar. All gathered about
Darrel, who sat smoking out&ide the
door. He rose and greeted each one of
the women with a bow and a compli-
ment The tinker was a man of unfail-
ing courtesy, and one thing in him was
extremely odd—even there in that iund
of pure democracy—he treated a scrub-
woman with the same politeness he
would have accorded the finest lady.
But he was in no sense a flatterer.
None that «tw him often were long in
ignorance of that His rebuke .was
even quicker than his compliment as
many had reason to know
Half an hour before dark the yard
was thronged with people. They lis-
tened, with smiles or a faint ripple of
merry feeling, as he greeted each.
“Good evening, Mrs. Beach,” he
would say. “Ah, the snow is falling on
thy head. An’ the sunlight upon thine,
dear girl,” he added, taking the hand
of the woman’s daughter.
“An’ here’s Mr. Tilly back from the
far west” he continued. “How fare
ye, sor?"
“I’m well, but a little too fat” said
Thurston Tilly.
“Well, sor, unless It make thy heart
heavy, be content
“Good evening Mrs. Hooper. That
Is a cunning hand with the pies.
“Ah, Mrs. Rood, may the mouse nev-
er leave thy meal bag with a tear In his
eye.
“Not a gray hair in thy head. Miss
Tower, nor evefl a gray thought
“An’ here's Mrs. Barbour. “Twill
make me sweat to carry me pride now.
How goes the battle?”
“The Lord has given me sore af-
fliction,” said she.
“Nay, d^ar woman.” said the tinker
In that tone so kindly and resistless.
in all but himself,” was Trove’s
thought as he returned with a smile
of amusement
Soon Trove and Polly came out and
stood by the lilac bush at the gate.
“You worry me, Sidney Trove,” said
she, looking off at the moonlit fields.
Then came a silence full of secret
things like the silences of their first
meeting there by the same gate long
ago. This one, however, had a vibra
tion that seemed to sting them.
“I am sorry,” said he with a sigh.
Another silence in which the heart
of the girl was Reeling for the secret in
his.
“You are so sad, so different,” she
whispered.
PpWy waited full half a minute for
hi* answer. Then she touched her eyes
-■frith her handkerchief, turned impa-
tiently and went halfway to the door.
Da’rrel caught her hand, drawing her
near him.
“Giro me thy hand, boy.” said he to
Trove, now on his way to the door.
He stood with his arms around the
two. ^
“Every shadow hath the wings
light,” lie whispered. “Listen.”
The house rang with laughter and the
1 music of “Money Musk.”
“’Tis the golden bell of happiness,”
said he presently. “Go an’ ring it.
Nay—first a kiss.”
He drew them close together, and
they kissed each other’s lips and with
smiling faces went in to join the dance
to get rid of them.
In the middle of the big, open bridge
he stopped to listen. Hearing only the
sound of the falls below, Trove took
the odd tools from under his coat and
flung them over the rail. He turned
then, walking slowly off the bridge and
up the main street of Hillsborough.
At a corner he stopped to listen. His
ear had caught the sound of steps far
behind him. He could hear it no lon-
ger and went his way with a troubled
feeling that robbed him of rest that
night. In a day or two it wore off,
and soon he was hold of the bit, as
he was wont to say, and racing for the
lead in his work. He often walked to
school with Polly and went to church
with her every Sunday night. There
had been not a word of love between
them, however, since they came to the
village until one evening she'said:
“I am very unhappy, and I wish I
were home.”
“Why?”
She was not able to answer for a
moment.
“I know I am unworthy of you,” she
whispered.
His lungs shook him with a deep and
tremulous inspiration. For a little he
could not answer.
“That is why you do not love me?”
she whispered again.
“I do love you,” he said, with a strong
effort to control himself, “but I am not
worthy to touch the hem of your gar-
ment.” ,
“Tell me why, Sidney.”
“Some day—I do not know when—I
will tell you all. And if you can love
me after that we shall both be happy.”
“Tell me now,” she urged.
"I cannot,” said he. “But if you only
trusi me, Polly, you shall know. If
you will not trust me”—
He paused, looking at the snow path.
“Good night!” he added presently.
They kissed and parted, each going
to the company of bitter tears.
As of old, Trove had many a friend-
schoolfellows who came of an evening
now and then for his help in some
knotty problem. All saw a change in
him. He had not the enthusiasm and
good cheer of former days, and some
ceased to visit him. Moreover, they
were free to say that Trove was get-
ting a big head. For one thing, he had
become rather careless about his
clothes, a new trait in him, for he had
the gift of pride and the knack of neat-
ness.
A new student sought his acquaint-*
ance the very first week of the term,
that rather foppish young man who got
off the cars at Hillsborough the day of
their first coming. He was from,Buf-
falo and, although twenty-two years of
age, was preparing to enter college.
His tales of the big city and bis frank
good fellowship made him a welcome
guest Soon be was known to all as
Dick, his name being Richard Roberts.
It was not long before Dick knew ev-
erybody and everybody knew Dick, in-
cluding Polly, and thought him a fine

CHAPTER XXVI.
GAIN the middle of Septembei
and the beginning of the fal
term, Trove had gone to hh
old lodgings at Hillsborough
and Polly was boarding in the village
for she, too, was now in the uphill
road to higher learning. None save
D.arrel, who gave her the young man’s
money, knew his secret—that he was
paying her board and tuition, unknown
to her. The thought of It made him
most happy, but now seeing her every
day had given him a keener sense of
that which had come between them
He sat much in his room and had little
heart for study. It was a cozy room
now. His landlady had hung rude pic-
tures on the walls and given him a rag
carpet. On the table were pieces
clear quartz and tourmaline and about
each window frame odd nests of bird
or insect, souvenirs of wood life and
his travel with the drove. There, too.
on the table were mementos of that
first day of his teaching, the mirror
spectacles with which he had seen at
once every corner of the schoolroom,
the slung shot and bar of iron he had
taken from the woodsman Leblanc.
One evening of his first week at
Hillsborough that term Darrel came to
sit with him awhile.
“An’ what are these?” said the tinker
at length, his hand upon the shot and
iron.
"I do not know.”
“Dear boy,” said Darrel, “they’re
from the kit of a burglar, an’ how
came they here?”
“I took them from Louis Leblanc,”
said the young man, who then told of
his adventure that night.
"Louis Leblanc!” exclaimed Darrel.
“The scamp an’ his family have cleared
out.”
The tinker turned quickly, his hand
upon the wrist of the young man.
‘‘These things are not for thee to
have,” he whispered. “Had ye no
thought o’ the danger?"
Trove began to change color.
“I can prove how I came by them,”
he stammered.
“What is thy proof?” Darrel whis-
pered again.
“There are Leblanc’s wife and daugh-
ter.”
“Ah, where are they? There be
many would like to know.”
The young man thought a moment.
“Well, Tunk Uosely, there at Mrs.
Vaughn’s.”
“Tunk Hosely!” exclaimed the tinker,
with a look that seemed to say: “God
save the mark! An’ would they be-
lieve him, think?”
Trove began to look troubled as Dar-
rel left him.
“I’ll go aud drop them in the river,”
said Trove to himself.
It was 11 o'clock and the street dark
and deserted as be left Ids room.
“It Is a cowardly thing to do,” the
young man thought as he walked slow-
ly, but he could devise no better tray
when he was detained a little after
school Dick went home with Polly.
That gave him no concern, however,
nntll Dick ceased to visit him and be
saw a change in the girl.
One day two letters came for Trove.
They were in girlish penmanship and
bore no signature, but stung him to the
quick. . v
For heaven’s sake get a new hat,”
said one.
“You are too handsome to neglect
your clothes,” said the other.
As he read them his cheeks were
burning with his shame. He went for
his hat aud looked it over carefully. It
was faded, and there was a little rent
in the crown, ills boots were tapped
and mended, his trousers threadbare
at the knee, and there were two
patches on his coat.
“I hadn’t thought of it,” said he, with
a sigh. Then he went for a talk with
Darrel.
“Did you ever see a more shabby
looking creature?” he inquired as Dar-
rel came to meet him. “I am so asham-
ed of myself I’d like to go lie in your
wood box while I talk to you.”
“ ‘'What hempen homespun have we
swaggering here ?’ ” Darrel quoted In a
rallying voice.
“I’ll tell you,” Trove began.
“Nay, first a roundel,” said the link-
er, as he began to shuffle his feet U. thr
measure of an old fairy song.
“If one were on his way to the gaf
lows, you would make him laugh,” s.<i if)
Trove, smiling.
“An I could, so would I,” said the
old man. “A smile, boy, hath in it
‘some relish o’ salvation.’ Now, tell
me, what Is thy trouble?”
“I’m going to leave school,” said
Trove.
“An' wherefore?”
“I'm sick of this pinching poverty.
Look at my clothes. I thought I could
make them do, but I can’t”
He put the two notes In Darrel's
hand. The tinker wiped hla spectacles
and then read them both.
“Tut tut, boy!” said he presently,
with a very grave look. “Hava ye for-
gotten the tatters that were aa a badge
of honor an' success? Weeks ago I
planned to find thee better garments;
but on my word, I had no heart for It.
Nay, these old ones had become dear
to me. I was proud o’ them. Aye, boy,
proud o’ them. When I saw the first
patch on thy coat said I, ‘It is the lit-
tle ensign o’ generosity.’ Then came
another, an', said I, ‘That is.for honor
an’ true love,’ an’ these bare threads—
there is no loom can weave the like o’
them. Nay, boy,’” Darrel added, lifting
an arm of the young man and kissing
one of the patches, “be not ashamed o’
these. They’re beautiful, aye, beautiful.
They stand for the dollars ye gave
Polly.”
Trove turned away, wiping his eyes.
He looked down at his coat and
trousers aud began to wonder if he
were, indeed, worthy to wear them.
“I’m not good enough for them.” said
he, “but you’ve put new heart Into me,
and I shall not give up. I’ll wear them
as long as I can make them do, and
girls can say what they please.”
“The magpies!” said Darrel. “When
they have a thought for every word
they utter, there’ll be then a second
Sabbath in the week!”
Next evening Trove went to see
Polly.
As he was leaving she held his hand
in both of hers and looked down, blush-
ing deeply, as If there were something
she would say had she the courage.
“What is it, Polly?” said he.
“Will you—will you let me buy you
a new hat?” said she soberly and hesi-
tating much between words.
He thought a moment, biting his lip.
“I’d rather you wouldn't. Folly." said
he. looking down at the faded hat. “I
know It’s shabby; but, after all. I'm
fond o’ the old thing. I love good
clothes, but I can’t afford them now.”

with a bias strapping down the upper
part of the sleeves, or, rather, two
strappings arranged close together and
in this way forming points with the
stripe. An up to date hood displays
Itself over the shoulders, and a rolled
collar of the goods completes this
stylish coat.
The picture shows a smart frock of
coral cloth severely plain in cut, but
chic In the extreme. Both skirt and
bodice display the dlrectolre touch in
the circular flounces.

Little Scotch caps in millinery, with
funny festhers and outstanding quills,

able milline-y.
Stripe^ and checks and plaids are all
echoed in the novelty velvets. Plenty
of black and white effects are seen in
them, rendered subtle instead of star-
tling by the soft, deep pile of the stuff.
For a pretty round face nothing could
be more becoming than a little hat with
slanting brim moderately wide and a
crown formed of soft folds of rose col-
ored cloth. The brim is almost con-
cealed beneath a wreath of large roses,
shading from deep to light red.
The charming hat in the cut is of
russet brown suede' felt. Around the
crown Is an artistically arranged twist
of brown chiffon, and tumbling over
the upturned brim are shaded brown
ostrich feathers.

DRESS DETAIL.
No kind of costume holds its own
like the plain tailored type. One can
always build up on a plain tailored
suit. The details of gloves, shoes, hats
and neck dressing count for consider-
ably more .'ith it than with a more
elaborate costume.
A unique buckle, suitable for a
dressy afternoon gown, has a large
oval of graceful gold filigree surround-
ing and half concealing an oval stone
like a huge opal.
Dull jet ornaments for mourning
wear are handsomer than ever and.

SOME SARTORIAL FACTS.
A curious feature of the tailor made
coats of the moment Is the taffeta tie,
or jabot, that accompanies so many of
them, which is, either arranged in a
loose bow or tied sailor fashion. A
note of color In this way is Introduced
In an otherwise somber costume.
Paris is raving over a new color
which-is a kind of compromise between
pomegranate and old rose. This lovely
shade lias boon reproduced hi silk,
cloth, velvet and In every kind of trim-
ming the Ingenuity of the manufac-
turer can devise.
Instead of a cluster of funereal black
feathers on a black liat, we have this
season a trio of feathers converging
from n point at the back of the hat In
black, white and empire green.
Velvet coats trimmed with fur bands,
collar and cuffs are worn with cloth
rkirts. It is a fashion that should se-

frequently noticed in the same ma-
teria!.
An odd little detail of dress this sea-
son Is to be noticed in sleeves, which
are often of aa entirely different ma-
teriel from the rest of the gown. _
Combining two materials In one dress
Is one of the oc-onoirical fancies of the
moment. For instance, a lace dress
will have a tuiik? of silk or satin. This
doci not sound attractive, but in reali-
ty it is ch.traiiug. In this disposition
of material two gowns that have seen
consider;!M- service call join forces and
come out looking fresh and new.
'On the short elbow sleeves it is often
necessary to have a narrow ribbon
caught from the armhole to the end of
the sleeve, so as to make the puff look
full without making It thick or
clumsy.
The empire dinner dress sketched is
smartly can-led out in white mousse-
line de sole and pompadour rose silk.
The long fichu is of brocaded rose
satin. JTTDIC CHOLLET.
